I've seen patches on libvirt fixing "unavailable-features" in another way
without dependence on /machine/unattached/device[0].
see:

with those patches device[0] becomes non issue, and this patch also becomes
unnecessary.
I don't mind putting sgx-epc under machine, but that shall be justified
somehow. A drawback I noticed in this case is an extra manual
plumbing/wiring without apparent need for it.
PS:
general note on submitting patches.
Commit message shall
1 describe problem (+error message/way to reproduce the issue)
2 what patch does
3 and why patch fixes the issue in a certain way
commit message in this patch only does #2, without any clue
to what the problem was nor why it tries to fix it this way.
